  The New Testament in Plain English and John 1:1

  by Wonderment in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  the new testament in plain english (published, 2003) translates john 1:1c as: "the word was god.

  " however, a footnote on this verse says: "or, deity, divine (which is actually a better translation, because the greek definite article is not present before this greek word).

  Pentecostal Madness: Panties, Wife swapping, aggression and epylepsy

  by Wonderment in

  2. bible

  though i have never been a pentecostal, i remember well the frequent stories i heard of this religious movement while going from house-to-house in the past.

  i wonder if you guys heard similar stories.

  one story i heard a few times was about the confession of some males going to pentecostal churches to peek at girls throwing themselves all over the floor in epileptic movements, and some mention the word "panties" being exposed as an attraction to them.

  i would like to hear people's opinions on intolerant religious groups?

  who wins?.

  somehow, i have this notion that pentecostals would win 1st place, followed by baptists, followed by jw's.

  i would like to suggest a few books to those sincerely open to one recommendation:.

  english interlinears: i find the kingdom interlinear and the word study greek-english new testament by paul r. mcreynolds the most useful of all.

  after that, the concordant greek text and the diaglott.
